I don't like plain or vanilla yoga.<br /><br />...yeah, I know, but I never promised the humor here would be high quality.<br /><br />I did yoga for a little while. It was offered by the fitness center in the building where I work (Sun salutes, downward dogs, proud warrior pose, etc...). But then the instructor took a job with decent pay and went elsewhere.<br /><br />Given the choice, I'd rather take Tai Chi. No only is it good exercise, but it teaches you to defend yourself if you are ever attacked... by... very... slow... people.Ulysseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702993322170403647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769447100550564202.post-41127610193624785242009-12-13T10:03:52.628-05:002009-12-13T10:03:52.628-05:00"Only if you're single and under 40.

But I also appreciate you sharing your thoughts/reactions to the critique.<br /><br />This stuff is hard work. You rock for keeping at it. You rock even more for sharing and inspiring others. <br /><br /><br />AND the story sounds cool! Best of luck to you with your writing!Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769447100550564202.post-69151827238249505052009-12-09T12:02:15.875-05:002009-12-09T12:02:15.875-05:00Thanks, essygie.

Good luck with the new and improved version of the query :-)essygiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05266026399933108451noreply@blogger.com
